"I have a boyfriend, and I would love to take him to my first prom, but he graduated two years ago and my prom is only for junior and senior students here! I don't want to go alone, since all of my friends already have dates. Is it okay to ask my boyfriend if I can take a friend to prom? And how would I ask him?"

That's a tough one! It's unfortunate that your school doesn't allow outsiders to attend, but if that's the way it is, you have to try and make the best of it. Just be totally honest with your boyfriend. Explain the situation and ask him if it's okay that you bring a friend. Maybe suggest someone that he knows, that way he'll feel better knowing who you're going to be with all night.

If he's a good guy, he's not going to let you miss your prom just because you can't bring him! There are always the after-parties to bring him to later as well!
